pacman-git f46db04 (2011-08-29)
SigLevel option not explicitly set

~# pacman -S testing/nspr
[...]
:: Retrieving packages from testing...
nspr-4.8.9-2-i686
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/nspr-4.8.9-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

~# pacman -S core/bzip2
runs correctly

Sync databases are updated (mirror set to ftp.archlinux.org).
If I set SigLevel = Never, the installation of testing/* passes correctly.
It looks like pacman handles the testing repository differently. I am using the standard pacman.conf without modifications, but this really looks like a user/configuration error to me.

What could cause such behaviour?
This task depends upon

SigLevel is Optional by default if left unset.
testing/nspr is signed.
core/bzip2 doesn't even have signatures.

Nothing inconsistent here.
